Trump Embraces Radical Anti-Catholic, Anti-Gay Pastor

Donald Trump has onceagain joined up with Texas pastor Robert Jeffress, this time inviting Jeffress to introduce him at an event at a Christian college in Iowa over the weekend.

“It’s becoming something of a regular gig: Jeffress, you may recall, also intro’d Trump at his American Airlines Center rally in September. And when he’s not introducing Trump, Jeffress is laying hands on the man,” Robert Wilsonsky of The Dallas Morning News wrote, noting that Trump has returned the favor by lavishing praise on Jeffress…for boasting about Trump.

Jeffress insists that his appearances don’t amount to an official endorsement, but has said that Trump has the best chance of defeating a Democratic opponent and “could be a very effective president of the United States.”

However, courting Jeffress’ support didn’t end well for the last Republican presidential candidate who tried it: Rick Perry.
